Frederal review:
The Frederal always manages to sneak its way onto a number of different lists and articles so I had to give it a try. This place is always bustling during brunch hours, so try to go a little bit later (or earlier) to reduce your wait times. The menu is very simple, and the service is quick and friendly.
We went for brunch and ordered the homemade root beer and white pop for drinks, and the cubano sandwich and scrambled eggs for food. There is a bit of a wait for food so make yourself comfortable.
Root beer is great, but a little too root-y for myself. White pop lemonade is tasty and full of citrus zest.
The cubano sandwich is surprisingly filling and there's a lot going on in the sandwich. I'm a huge fan of the avocado mixed in. It comes with some greens and potato pancakes on the side.
Great food, atmosphere was nice, and not overly expensive. Will be back to explore more of the menu.
